What new build mastic looks like in Whitegrove
Whitegrove is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Bracknell has kept growing, with newer neighbourhoods added to the original town, so brand-new homes and homes from the post-war decades sit within a short drive of each other. Newer homes need snagging; older ones need their joints renewing. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you’ve bought a new home near Bracknell station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

New build mastic in Whitegrove, done properly
We never seal over a failed new-build bead. Fresh silicone can’t bond to the old layer, so it all comes out before we clean, dry and reseal. If you have gaps between new skirting and floors and internal frame sealant that has split, we can put it right, on plot handovers, skirting & floors and bathrooms & en suites alike.
In smaller places like Whitegrove, new homes tend to come as small developments or single plots. Each still needs its sealant and floor joints finished properly from day one.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Whitegrove and across Bracknell Forest.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need new build mastic in Whitegrove
Not every new-build joint gets the right sealant: decorators’ caulk in a wet area, or a stiff sealant where there’s movement. Neither lasts long.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cracked caulk along new skirting
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Untidy sealant flagged on a snagging list
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
Around Whitegrove, as everywhere, new build mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the tidy-up. For a job in Whitegrove, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the snagging list or plot schedule and agree the joints to do.
- The old bead comes out in full, with no layer left behind.
- Surfaces are cleaned of building dust and primed where needed.
- We apply a sealant that suits each joint and tool it to a neat finish.
- Each area is checked and left with its cure time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we quote for new build mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whitegrove: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Whitegrove in your area for new build mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Whitegrove is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours in a single home, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What does new build mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
DIY kits don’t solve the main problems with new-build sealant: dust, no primer and old sealant left in the joint. Cutting out, cleaning and priming are what make the difference. In an older home around Whitegrove, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
